* Foundational Skills: NOT all standards included, clustered standards, more than one standard per page ~ clustered {Pages 25-31}

* Writing: All standards included, more than one standard per page ~ clustered {Pages 32-39}

* Blank goals/scales {Pp. 40-44}

Each strand is color coded. The goals and scales keep the intent of the standard, but are adapted to words students understand, which make them student friendly goals and scales.

On each level of the scales, the students will see pictures next to the words. The pictures are geared towards students who are not able to read and understand. Therefore, these students have picture scales.

Level 1 of each scale contains the phrase “With help, partial success at 2.0 content or 3.0 content.” According to Dr. Marzano, any student who is not able to master the content at level 2 or level 3 is considered to be at level 1. In other words, students at level 1 receive differentiated assistance from the teacher.

Level 2 contains the foundational knowledge and skills needed to build to level 3. Some standards with a lower Depth of Knowledge (DOK) level are included on this level if they are considered foundational.

Level 3 content and skills are standard specific. They mirror the standard.

Level 4 includes content and skills that have students moving up a cognitive level from the goal (level 3 on the scale).
